The cops wouldn't let him in. There is even video of him begging them but they wouldn't let him.

Roads into an evacuation zone are closed and hundred mile an hour winds and your neighborhood is on fire… if you’re at off at work when that happens there’s nothing that you can do. So why are you continuing to pile on and assume the owner was apathetic? And under these circumstances too.

Maybe keep your hypotheticals to yourself instead of being a judgmental dickhead when you clearly don't know the circumstances.

And the people who were trying to get back never had access to their homes to begin with, many were at work or elsewhere

People had seconds to leave. Look at him. He was absolutely destroyed. Where I live when we had big fires that required evacuations last year, the cops threatened to charge people who tried to get past barricades. RCMP trust has been lost in the rural community out here. Not that we love cops.

And then you get shot by a cop.

I'm glad you're so perfect and nothing tragic has or ever will befall you because you think of every variable. No one you know will ever die and therefore you can rest well knowing that you have saved ever person, animal, and thing you have ever loved. Do you want a cookie?

Do you understand that he was at work when the fire broke out and he was unable to get to his house because the roads were blocked? I understand the idea of a job is probably a foreign concept to you as you type from your parents’ basement, but try to follow us.

Again, he didn't leave them! He couldn't GET to them. There's a big difference.

He didn't just leave them. The fires had not begun. Fires started Tuesday around 10:30am I believe so there was no threat. He went to work like it was a regular day. He tried to get back to them. Apparently was able to get one of two. I don't know the full story but not everyone just left.

You can't leave something if you're not there to begin 🙄🙄🙄

They won't allow you to go back in these situations though. The national guard/police guard the evacuation zones. So if you get evacuated while at work they're gonna tell you that you can't return to your house. Its sad but there's not much you can do
